Perhaps it was the people of the buffalo tribe who joined He Zilong's tribe and played an exemplary role. Moreover, He Zilong's practice of buying horse bones for those newcomers also divided meat and animal skins as clothes, which greatly stimulated those who were poorly mixed with the remnants of buffaloes, as well as some wandering natives.

Next, many people came with a variety of different gifts every day, hoping to join He Zilong's tribe.

Of course, it is not that those who come will not refuse, He Zilong will ask them according to his known knowledge, and he will pick up four of them. The final acceptance rate is about 30%, but this is a lot, after all, there are many people who want to join.

In the past few days, the number of his tribe has increased by two or three times, reaching nearly five hundred.

However, it is still the same as before, women account for 70%, so don't look at the total number of about 500 people, but men only account for more than 100 people. This was done by He Zilong on purpose, and the pure male warriors of five hundred people would make many other big tribes have some hostile observations. But it's different if it's mostly women!

At the same time, if there are more women and fewer men, there will be no trouble among peers because of the unfair distribution of women.

Today, someone hopes to join He Zilong's tribe, and the gift sent over made He Zilong a little moved after asking about the source. It turned out that he had sent salt crystals, and whispered that it was a mine found somewhere in the forest. It's Borderlands!

The salt ore of the crystalline body is associated with the salt brine, that is, the seawater is buried in the ground and evolves after an unknown number of years.

The role of salt is known even to primitive natives. It's just that for the indigenous people, they generally don't know how salt should be selected, and only know some soil methods, which is also the reason why He Zilong's pottery can only be exchanged for a small part of black salt, which is very precious.

When the human body is deficient in salt, the concentration of body fluids decreases, and electrolyte imbalances occur, which can cause physical discomfort. If you don't eat for a long time, your body is tired, and you have no energy.

When he didn't learn before, He Zilong would also think, animals don't seem to eat salt like humans, so don't they want salt?

Not really!

Animals also have to eat salt, animals don't have salt to eat, but they also get salt through many sources, such as plants and soil. Primitive people obtained salt water from food, stone mines, etc., but their ability to understand and purify it was limited, so they attached great importance to salt.

Think about the thousands of years of history in China, and it is only after modern times that salt has become cheaper. Counting upwards, or in the time of the emperor, salt was cheaper?

When humans transitioned from the nomadic era to the agricultural era, the food structure changed to grains and vegetables as the staple food, and they lacked salt from the animals. Because the plant contains very little salt, the ancestors began to look for traces of salt out of physiological needs.

I remember that later generations watched a TV series "Yanxi Raiders", I don't know if you have noticed such a scene in the TV series: Emperor Qianlong at that time would let the princes and ministers eat a piece of boiled white meat when the Manchus sacrificed!

This ancient food seasoning, salt, was an important thing at that time.

Li Bai, such a chic and carefree person, would be happy to make a poem because he could eat a little salt when he was drinking, which shows how precious salt was in ancient times!

In ancient times, a family would not eat more than one or two salt, although it was said that people in ancient times were "people are light food", but in the final analysis, it is not because there is too little salt, too expensive!

In ancient times, people didn't know where salt came from, only knew that a certain place was rich in salt, and began to mine it endlessly until the resources were exhausted!

In order to consolidate the financial route, almost all dynasties have severely cracked down on the smuggling and reselling of salt. For example, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, buying and selling salt privately was a death penalty as long as one catty or tael or more.

Okay, that's off the line.

After He Zilong got this tip, he found that on that route, according to the report from his own soldiers' reconnaissance, it was safer. It was only temporary, so he brought the pottery that people used to make and brought back the crystallization ore and the brine. (Later, I found out that I could still take half of the route by water, but I haven't tried it yet.) ）

If the mined salt ore crystals, it will be directly violently crushed and eaten. Theoretically, this is true, but there will be a lot of impurities, and there will even be harmful substances, the indigenous people don't understand much, and many people eat it so directly, it seems that many people are poisoned.

He Zilong poured the brine on the red-hot charcoal, and then scraped off the salt particles attached to the charcoal after evaporating the water.

If you want to create a pure white fine salt similar to the modern outside, you only rely on hand, so don't think so. Only the existing conditions are not up to standard!

Of course, it's not entirely impossible.

For example, He Zilong chooses some wild raw beans caught (it seems to taste a little bitter, after all, it is not the preferred beans for modern hybridization), that is, soy milk is used to remove impurities in the brine, and when the soy milk is poured into the boiling brine, it will produce a little brine reaction to form a floating object in the shape of a bean flower, which should be scooped out and poured out. After passing through this process, the boiled salt can be considered a fine product.

It's just not too much salt that is not black!(Of course, when you do the last few steps, you won't be seen, and even a few cronies are like assembly lines, each responsible for a part of it, and just looking at one of the steps, the local subordinates can't understand what they're doing.) ）

The best salt will also be slightly larger, and it will look a bit like MSG.

With so much salt, He Zilong had more ideas.

In the past, the reason why a large amount of meat was eaten was actually because no matter how much meat on hand there was, it couldn't be stored for long. can only let everyone go to eat, but the result is still not finished, and there is a lot of waste. But with salt, it can be made into bacon, and the preserved fish has been preserved for a long time.

This is not only meat, but also contains a lot of salt, and the combination of strong and powerful products is absolutely popular if it is used to trade with others.

The second time he led the team to quietly fetch salt crystals, He Zilong unexpectedly discovered a valley with natural blending plants. Only He Zilong was ecstatic at this discovery, and the other indigenous warriors who went with him didn't quite understand.

In their opinion, some of them have come to this place many times unintentionally, but the wild vegetables here are not delicious, and they barely eat it in their mouths, and they are numb for a while, sour for a while, and indescribable for a while.

Seeing that He Zilong asked them to take the time to pick a large number of plants here and return to the tribe, some people also said that these things could not be eaten. After He Zilong heard this, he just smiled and said nothing, he couldn't eat the condiments, of course he couldn't eat them, but after eating the side dishes, he definitely made you all indigenous juniors, and even your tongue wanted to eat them.
